Going skiing? Don't forget these accessories

Body protection accessories

During a ski trip, it is not difficult to sustain injuries or minor but troublesome damage to the body. Falls, abrasions, chapped and cracked lips or skin irritated by cold winds - all these things can take the fun out of skiing. A few small items of luggage effectively remove these problems. What is worth taking with you?

UV cream and lipstick

Protect your skin and particularly sensitive lips from UV radiation, even on a cloudy day. Clouds are not a significant barrier to solar radiation. As much as 90% reaches the ground. Snow reflecting the rays intensifies their negative effects. This is why it is so important to apply sunscreen to exposed parts of your body - a minimum of SPF 30. If you are going skiing with children, sun protection should be even stronger.

Reach for special winter creams that combine the properties of an SPF filter with protection against dryness and irritation caused by frosty winds.

Do your lips dry easily, peel and crack painfully in the cold? Reach for a lipstick that provides hydration, acts as a protective barrier and reduces the negative effects of UV radiation.

Knee protectors and body protectors

Are you a beginner skier? You are unlikely to avoid falls. However, you can limit the consequences and minimise the risk of injury. With knee protectors you can learn in comfort without fear of accidents.

Knees are not the only areas you can protect. There are many types of protectors on the market for skiers. You can protect your body from the consequences of falls by adapting the accessories to your specific needs. You can choose from wrist or back protectors, as well as special shorts to increase the safety of the pelvic area.

Comfort accessories on the slopes

Safety is the most important aspect to take care of - the absolute basis for a successful ski trip. However, comfort is also important - after all, you're going there to have fun! Soaked boots and the cold shouldn't occupy your attention - and they won't with two great accessories.

Ski boot dryer

This compact piece of equipment allows you to dry your boots thoroughly after an intense day on the slopes. So you can be sure that they will be perfectly dry and refreshed when you put them on again in the morning. Warm and dry ski boots are a prerequisite for comfortable skiing.

Warming gloves

Accessories after skiing

Skiing is quite a demanding sport. Correct recovery and a solid rest in the hotel are very important for a successful trip. Pack a few small items that will promote comfort and a speedy recovery.

Ointments for abrasions and bruises

An intense day on the slopes can leave marks - abrasions and bruises. It is worth having an ointment on hand to speed up the healing of minor wounds, reduce swelling and bruising and limit their pain. This will make minor injuries less likely to bother you and you won't restrict your activities.

A balaclava and scarf for cold days

After a strenuous workout, it is not difficult to get chilled and cold, which can end up with a day spent in a hotel bed instead of on the slopes. Take care of your thermal comfort not only on the slopes, but also on a walk or on the way to and from your accommodation. Opt for a warm chimney sweater or scarf.
